As suggested by Guy of His Futile Preoccupations, here are 3 versions of the cover of our new book. Our brief to Lisa* was:
Our hero Frank is a mild-mannered doctor who secretly identifies with Norse heroes. He is up against a feral group of Oldies who are trying to take control of the government. In the course of the book he gets super-fit and takes up free running. Small dancing Pomeranian dogs also feature in this story.
As always, we want the cover to make it clear that this is comedy. It should have a kind of devil-may-care flair to it.
Which one do you like?

I like the middle one, Gert. Don’t know why.

I’d have to go with the little white dog though I’d be inclined to try Frank with headgear that stands out a bit more. Hope this is some help.

#2 is the one! All the best! 🙂

I’m torn between number two and the first one – both are very striking! It’s close, but the the second one just edges it.

I like number three but otherwise number two.

Interestingly, no 2, which is the one most people have chosen, was the first one Lisa came up with. We asked her to play round with a variant without guns and with the little dog. But it’s true that no 2 does convey the conflicts Frank faces, while 3 is much more peaceful.

I like number 2 best of the group as it has many dimensions which probably come to light in the story. Can’t wait!

The decision has now been made Sally, so you will have to wait until the book is released (quite soon) to see which cover has been chosen.

I missed this somehow, but I would have voted for number 2.
